Beach Tennis Tips!

It's important to understand the mental dynamics you create when you keep fighting after falling behind. You are sending a message to your opponent that you are not discouraged and will remain poised to take back the lead if he falters. This mental attitude forces your opponent to continue to concentrate on beating you.

This is the key to making a comeback. You must make your opponent keep concentrating for the victory.

     Most importantly,

have FUN!

very pleased with the growth and support of

the fantastic things to do and cafes to sip lattes in, it

was great to see new players emerging and having fun!

on the drawing board.  Watch out other states beach

tennis is coming to you!

been a roaring success!
